Cotton variety FM 1730GLTP
The cotton variety FM 1730GLTP is disclosed. The invention relates to seeds, plants, plant cells, plant tissue, harvested products and cotton lint as well as to hybrid cotton plants and seeds obtained by repeatedly crossing plants of variety FM 1730GLTP with other plants. The invention also relates to plants and varieties produced by the method of essential derivation from plants of FM 1730GLTP and to plants of FM 1730GLTP reproduced by vegetative methods, including but not limited to tissue culture of regenerable cells or tissue from FM 1730GLTP.
1. A seed of cotton variety FM 1730GLTP, wherein a representative seed of said variety was deposited under NCIMB Accession No: 44059.
2. A plant, or a regenerable part thereof, produced by growing the seed of claim 1 .
3. A plant, or a regenerable part thereof, obtained by vegetative reproduction from the plant, or a part thereof, of claim 2 , wherein said plant expresses all of the morphological and physiological characteristics of cotton variety FM 1730GLTP, a sample of seed of cotton variety FM 1730GLTP having been deposited under NCIMB Accession No: 44059.
4. A process of vegetative reproduction of cotton variety FM 1730GLTP comprising culturing regenerable cells or tissue from FM 1730GLTP, a sample of seed of cotton variety FM 1730GLTP having been deposited under NCIMB Accession No: 44059.
5. A cell or tissue culture produced from the plant, or a part thereof, of claim 2 .
6. A cotton plant regenerated from the cell or tissue culture of claim 5 , said plant expressing all of the morphological and physiological characteristics of FM 1730GLTP , a sample of seed of cotton variety FM 1730GLTP having been deposited under NCIMB Accession No: 44059.
7. A method of producing an F1 hybrid cotton seed, comprising the steps of crossing the plant of claim 2 with a different cotton plant and harvesting the resultant F1 hybrid cotton seed.
8. An F1 hybrid cotton seed produced by the method of claim 7 .
9. An F1 hybrid cotton plant, or a regenerable part thereof, produced by growing the hybrid seed of claim 8 .
10. A method of introducing a desired trait into a cotton plant, the method comprising transforming the plant of claim 2 with a transgene that confers the desired trait, wherein the transformed plant otherwise retains all of the morphological and physiological characteristics of cotton variety FM 1730GLTP and contains the desired trait.
11. The method of claim 10 , wherein said desired trait is fiber quality, herbicide resistance, insect resistance, bacterial disease resistance or fungal disease resistance.
12. A method of introducing a desired trait into a cotton plant, the method comprising transforming the plant of claim 9 with a transgene that confers the desired trait, wherein the transformed plant otherwise retains all of the morphological and physiological characteristics of cotton variety FM 1730GLTP and contains the desired trait, seed of cotton variety FM 1730GLTP having been deposited under NCIMB Accession No: 44059.
13. A cotton plant produced by the method of claim 10 .
14. A method of introducing a single locus conversion into cotton variety FM 1730GLTP comprising: (a) crossing a plant of variety FM 1730GLTP with a second plant comprising a desired single locus to produce F1 progeny plants; (b) selecting F1 progeny plants that have the single locus to produce selected F1 progeny plants; (c) crossing the selected progeny plants with at least a first plant of variety FM 1730GLTP to produce backcross progeny plants; (d) selecting backcross progeny plants that have the single locus and otherwise comprise all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of cotton variety FM 1730GLTP to produce selected backcross progeny plants; and (e) repeating steps (c) and (d) one or more times in succession to produce selected second or higher backcross progeny plants that comprise the single locus and otherwise comprise all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of cotton variety FM 1730GLTP when grown in the same environmental conditions, wherein a representative seed of said variety has been deposited under NCIMB Accession No: 44059.
15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the single locus confers male sterility, herbicide tolerance, insect resistance, pest resistance, disease resistance, modified fatty acid metabolism, modified carbohydrate metabolism, or modified cotton fiber characteristics.
